The CSM's opinion on the security decree
The Higher Council of the Judiciary (CSM) recently approved, with a majority vote, a critical opinion regarding the Security Decree. With 19 votes in favor, 4 against and 2 abstentions, the Plenum highlighted the uncertainties related to the impact of the new provisions on the workload and organization of judicial offices.
According to the CSM, the overall effect of these measures is not entirely predictable, but it is clear that the judicial system will suffer significant consequences.
The implications of the new provisions
The opinion of the CSM emphasizes that, although there are interventions that could improve the effectiveness of the judicial organization, these are mainly linked to the logic of decriminalization. On the contrary, the Security Decree is based on an opposite approach, characterized by a harshening of penalties and the introduction of new types of crime. This approach, according to the CSM, could further aggravate the situation, increasing the workload for magistrates and complicating the management of the offices.
Concerns about the future of the justice system
The CSM's observations are not limited to the immediate impact of the new rules, but also extend to the long-term consequences for the Italian judicial system. With the increase in responsibilities and complexities resulting from the new laws, the risk is that an increasingly congested and ineffective judicial system will be created. The need for a reform that contemplates a more balanced vision between security and decriminalization therefore becomes crucial to ensure an optimal functioning of justice.
